Who likes a Mystery and a Giveaway?????

I do! As a child I remember going to the store and they had mystery grab bags that you could buy for a quarter. I loved getting them, never knowing what you would get until you opened up the bag. I haven't seen them in many years. But today I ran across a Mystery Giveaway at the MnM Special Blog.

I have no idea what the giveaway is, but it does have a value of $69 so it should be a fun giveaway to enter. If you do, tell her that PRPLDY sent you so that I will get extra entries into the giveaway. And it's easy to enter, all you have to do is follow her blog and to get extra entries, just refer your friends. Good Luck! And if you win, please tell me what it is that you won, this is so much fun!

Saturday was fairly quiet, but ...

Saturday was very quiet and was a laid back day. Much like most of my days. But that didn't stop the clock from ticking forward making me one year older. The card below is the one I received from my two wonderful Grandson's and is so cute.

The nside says "What happens at Grandma's .... stays at Grandma's"

I turned a whopping 49 on Saturday. I received a beautiful hand stamped birthday card in the mail from Linda, a member the SAT group (stamping and tagging) that I belong to, along with a card from a dear friend, Robin (sorry I did not gt a picture of it).

The card matches my newly painted kitchen that is purple, lime green, white and black. Thanks so very much Linda and Robin.

My Grandson's are taking me to the new Pizza Hut in our town, that opened just a few weeks ago tomorrow night for dinner, for my birthday. I'm looking forward to having the buffet so I an each a variety of pizza, pasta, and salad.

Sweet Great Niece, Gracee

I might have mentioned a time or two of my oldest Niece, Angel, having a little girl on July 10th of 2009. Gracee is Angel's 2nd child, her first born was a cute red headed boy born 19 years and 4 days prior to Gracee's arrival.

Last weekend my Sister had a baby shower for them as we were not able to attend the original baby shower due to my Brother-n-law's passing on the morning of. Angel understood why we couldn't attended the shower as my Sister, Terry, needed our support and love much more than Angel needed us to attend the shower. So we gathered at our local Pizza Hut last weekend and dined on Cheeseburger Pizza and Cheese Bread Sticks. Then Angel opened the gifts while sweet Gracee was entertained by one person and then the next.

I just won at The Shopping Mama Blog and .....

I am really behind on my post. One of these days I hope to get caught up. And here is a teeny tiny bit of my start to get caught up.....



Today I received an e-mail from Kate at The Shopping Mama Blog that I won my choice from Slimpressions. Yippee! I won, out of 487 entries, my number was chosen. I am so excited and really look forward to wearing my Have Nots in a Chocolate Brown. A huge Thank you to Kate and to Slimpressions.

A few days ago, I received a congratulatory e-mail from Ryann at A Working Blogging Mommy Blog. I was chosen the winner of the Embroidered Lovey Blanket that Letter Perfect sponsored out of a total of 93 comments. Since my oldest Niece just had a little girl, Gracee, on July 10th I let her pick out her favorite and she chose the Lady Bug blanket that looks similar to the one above.

Have you hard of the Painted Ponies?

The Painted Ponies are beautiful, but I am not really here to talk about them. I am here to talk about my painted kitchen. Yep, it's been painted and I absolutely love it!!!!! Previously my kitchen was the yucky tan color (as is the whole house) and I had a Pansy theme. It's been time for a chance for a long time now. And a big chance I have made. I love spending time in my kitchen now as the color is perfect.



It's a little more purple and a lot less blue looking than what the picture shows. I got a great deal on the gallon of paint at my local Wal-mart and paid a mere $6.93 as it was one of their Oops paints. One they mixed for someone else but must have been the wrong shade or something. But that is fine as I got a great deal, and it was a perfect shade for me.

The date on the pictures are incorrect, I had used my Grandson's camera and I guess he hasn't set his date on it to the current date.



The tan color you see in the picture is what I have lived with for over 12 years. Yuck! Every single room is that color in my home. And I am so sick of it. The areas that are not currently purple will be painted a bright lime green. My total color combo is purple, lime green, black, and white. Now that the kitchen has been painted I see that I have a lot of items that are lime green. such as: tiny screwdriver, flash light, silicon pot holder, and other items.

I'm shying away from the pansies, but will keep my Corelle dishes that are pansies as I love my Corelle. My pansy curtains are hung up for the time being, but I went to Hobby Lobby and got fabric that is lime green with white polka dots to make new curtains for the kitchen. I was able to use my internet coupon and saved 40% too. I bought 5 yards so that was a bit of savings and well worth getting their e-mail newsletter each week so that you can get the coupon to use in the store.

When I was at Wal-mart last night I bought a lime green colander and have it hanging on my wall now. I am also making some art to go in my kitchen. I can't wait until I am totally done. It will be the bomb! More pictures to come. Soon, I hope.
